3rd Sonogram @ 9 weeks/ Kinda worried | 7/3/08 7:28 PM
I am supposed to be in my 9th week and I have already had 3 sonograms. Today I went in and had one done and the doc said that my gestational sac isn't growing like it is supposed to be. My 1st sonogram the baby was 6 centimeters and then last week @ my 2nd app. it grew to 10 cenimeters. This week it hasn't grown much. He said that my hcg levels kinda went down a little but he also said that it does that sometimes at this point. So he took another blood test to check them. He is also sending me to the hospital for another sonogram next week because he said that they have a machine that is 3 times more powerful than the one he has. I have already had 2 M/C and a chemical pregnancy. So should I be worried? They say that some babies measure small too. My progesterone levels are fine he said. I had to have shots every week with my last full pregnancy for the first trimester and he turned out fine. I'm scared/confused/anxious to get this trimester over with. Any words of wisdom or encouragement would be great.

I think it is good that the progesterone levels are steady but I would be concerned about the sac not growing. I've heard that the hcg levels are a good indicator and it is normal for them to dip but they should come back up pretty quickly at this point. Is it possible that you aren't as far along as they think or are you absolutely certain of the conception date? I will keep you and your family in my prayers and please keep us posted and let us know how everything turns out. I'm sure it will be fine but having lost a baby myself, I know how scary it is right now. Good luck to you and your little one!!

I am 15 weeks and had the same problem in my first trimester, I was in and out, in and out, my levels dropped instead of doubling... but now everything is completly normal, and the baby is doing great. Stay positive and try not to worry. Worry causes stress to your body.. I know easier said than done.. Good luck!
